Chipping with the NEW Woodland Mills TF 810 PRO PTO chipper
zhlédnutí 986Před 3 měsíci
Got the new Woodland Mills TF810 Pro PTO Chipper out and put it through its paces today. Very impressed with the build quality and it was definitely heavier than I had imagined when paired with the Ford 2810! To my surprise the chipper did even better than I though on the Ford 2810 since it is only 32pto hp, that old school tractor torque definitely saves the day being only 32 hp though! If you...

What a Beast! Woodland Mills TF810 Pro PTO wood chipper

I have been on the fence for a hydraulic feed chipper pto wood chipper for a while now and I had myself sold on a wc68. After watching a ton of videos I decided I needed, well I should say I wanted sometime bigger. Bigger chute means less trimming branches which I am all about!

What you are calling the clutch cover is the clutch drum just fyi. And also clean underneath the recoil a lot of saw dust gets in there because it pulls air in thru there.
Thanks, Good tip!
Where do you get parts for these splitters
Haven’t had to get any parts yet but I would imagine you can get parts from the manufacturer.
JUST GET A EPS EXHAUST.
They weren’t out yet when I did this. A little too loud for my liking as well.
Good job do you used semi or full chisel chain on this video ?
Full chisel is what I use 95% of the time. About the only time I use semi chisel is cutting stumps off close to the dirt.
Yes...this video is much better than any other. Honest straight footage of how this chipper works. Also very worthy to note the HP on the tractor. Thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate the input!
Sounds like it's way lean on the high. Running like a dremel tool.
It is m-tronic so high isn’t adjustable. It has ran fine for 4 years and counting “running like a dremel tool” 👍🏼
@foggyvalleyacres I have the problem with setting my high too rich. Afraid to burn my saw.
Better safe than sorry, just check your plug occasionally, the color will let you know if you think you’re too lean.
Good video, I don’t care for the new bar styles.
It wasn’t bad, I changed it out for a sugihara bar, much higher quality than the the light 04
Just put a set of wcs 3 point felling dogs on mine and wish it were in the 20's so I could go out and have some fun lol (It's 90° in the shade today) The ms261cm is an amazing saw Great video
I like the 3pt dogs but can’t justify the price of them for my 261. I have a set of dogs on my 462 and then added one of the dogs off my 462 on the outside of my 261 and it helped out a lot.
Lovvvvvvve the 462R
Such a good saw!
Bought the 261c-m on Monday I've started it to check it was OK but I've not been out with it yet do you have to break them in or can you use them straight away
I started with limbing at first for a tank before I rang its neck but I didn’t do any special break in rituals or anything.
Got a question is there a bark box for Ms 271 farm boss where to get it
No, 271 is a single piece muffler. That’s the reason I did this muffler mod to my 261. Very easy and cheap with great results.
That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Did you seal up the gaps?
I didn’t see a need to, the cutout isn’t bigger than the deflector. The very minimal amount that escapes by hasn’t caused a problem l.
Thanks for this. Excellent vid. It helped me.
Thanks! I’m glad it helped! How are you liking the mod?
Nice video. Love my 261
Thanks, it’s a great saw! Is yours mtronic or regular carb?
@@foggyvalleyacres it’s the mtronic! No issues yet after 2mo of steady use
Mine as well, 3 years with not such as a hiccup! Both my 261 and 462 are mtronic and I don’t have any complaints.
I thought all 261 were m tronic ??
@TheRuralProject no, some are regular carb version 261.
So is the Light 04 better than the Rollomatic E bar in long term? The light uses 1,3mm chain rather than the 1,6mm on the Rollomatic so it cuts faster but wouldn't it make it last less?
I’m not all that impressed with it, I just got a 16” sugihara light to replace it. Metal seems a lot softer than the sugihara, the sugi has a lot more spring also. I thought for sure I bent my 24” sugi, a log rolled over the bar and bent it 30 degrees and it sprung back perfectly straight. That sold me on their bars.
The light is just a rebranded “thinner” version of the rollomatic from everything I’ve read.
I like the fact that you’re running on an older tractor. it’s nice to see an older one can do the same job. An you don’t need to drop 30 to 40 grand for a new tractor to clean up you land.
It’s a great tractor for clearing small parts of land, I am amazed how well it runs this big of a chipper! I think these older tractors do better than the new ones a lot of times especially for something like this. No tears will be shed if a scratch gets put on ole blue! Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
I have a WC88 chipper I run with a 1961 International B-414. It runs the chipper like a champ.
@foggyvalleyacres I'd love to find a deal on a good 3910 ford! My neighbor bought one new when I was a kid. He still has it. It's a little more power than my old tractor, and didn't they have wet disk brakes? Brakes on my old IH are awful.
Thank you one of the best demonstrations of the 810 I've seen since it came out.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! It is a great chipper, I have been very happy with it so far!
Kneel down and buck! I’ve done the same I’m sure, whatever works! Is that 462 just muffler modded?
A lot easier on my back than bending over. Easier to keep the tip out of the dirts this way too. It is ported and has a Egan straight shot muffler.
👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Nice work I've been thinking about getting a 291 but after seeing the 261 in action this is the saw for me is your's a 261c-m
You won’t be disappointed, my dad has the older version or the 291 (029) and it’s night and day difference! The weight alone is worth the extra money. I looked at a 291 when I got my 261, I haven’t touched the 029 since I bought the 261 3yr ago. Yes mine is the cm version.
@foggyvalleyacres have you had any issues with it as I've heard that the 1st cm models had bother with the solenoid
@@gavinhankinson9158 I have not, I have the 3rd gen mtronic and it has ran flawlessly on my 261 and 462 so far.
@foggyvalleyacres many thanks for the information you've made my mind up I'm definitely getting the 261c-m
@@gavinhankinson9158 no problem, happy to help! Hope you are as please with it as I have been.
I own the 500i and I love it 462 is a great chainsaw I like the 500 i great video 👍
If I were buying new I would have probably bought the 500i. But I got a great deal on this one second hand and the porting was an added bonus!
@@foggyvalleyacres totally understand I love the power that my chainsaw has 👍
What's the largest diameter you've chipped?
6-6.5” with no issues on 100% infeed speed. I might have to start and stop once or twice on a branch if it is around 6” on dead hardwoods. I’m really impressed with it on a lower hp (36) tractor.
@@foggyvalleyacres That's my tractor size with a 30 PTO HP, WM doesn't recommend it for this chipper but came to the same conclusions as you for the bigger chute figuring soon enough what I can handle.
@@inspectr1949 I am glad I went with it, a lot less trimming is needed! It is heavy though! I was surprised when I picked it up with the tractor. I just use it on my 2wd tractor and it definitely needs weights to handle it.
@@foggyvalleyacres My biggest concern is another recent owner posting on CZcams who is having major issues with his going thru multiple sheer pins and feed issues that Woodland Mills appears to be giving him a run around.
@@inspectr1949 only shear pins I have broke in 8-10hr have been when I had the infeed roller too slow. I haven’t broke any when having the infeed at 10 and stoping once or twice when it would big down.
42 years ago you would buy one of those at international Yamaha on Canoga av in the Valley... 42 years ago. It was called the "RATIO RITE"... They still make that? Haven't been able to find one anywhere for decades?
I didn’t know they have been making them that long! I’ve been using them since I was a kid, they make mixing up gas vary easy. I put a link to Amazon in the description below the video. Thanks for for the story, I always enjoy hearing some bits of history!
motorized bicycle engine require 25:1 ratio and 16:1 break in
A little math and you’ll be set, say you want a gallon of each. The math is quite simple to do a ratio that may not be on them. You want a gal of 16:1 pour in the oil to match the requirements of 2gal of 32:1 and you will have a gallon or 16:1 A gal of 25:1 simply add the oil for 2gal of 50:1 and you will have a gal of 25.1
Sabre is 100:1
That’s the max recommended mix for Sabre. Has posted right on the bottle for 50:1, as well as 80:1.
Why not buy a bigger saw what's the point of wasting money and time that's like buying a Subaru instead of a Corvette
I got a really good deal on it used is why. Just because something isn’t the way you would do something doesn’t mean it’s wrong….
462 is a big saw, there is a reason 95% of loggers use 70cc saws😂
For their weight they are very capable saws, and a decent amount lighter than lugging a 90+ cc saw.
@@gt3jacobyyeah 462 is like the F150. It’s a beast.
I made a winch for my tractor used a bale spear for 3pt got a hydraulic winch to match the pump output on the tractor so wasnt to slow on pulling it back to tractor made a box to mount winch in and cut down a back blade and mounted it backwards and welded it all together works well
What kind of winch did you use? Did you make it out of a hydraulic motor or something you had already?
@@foggyvalleyacres I bought a 11000lb hydraulic winch from pro winch and made hoses up to run it off remote on tractor the bale spear and blade were used ones I picked up at an auction all total I had about 2000 in project and honestly it's paid for itself many times over
That’s a good idea, what did you use for cable/rope?
@@foggyvalleyacres It was four or 5 yrs ago but Winch come with I believe a 100 ft of 13/32 cable and hook already on it
How do you like it so far?
I love it so far, only 30-40 min runtime so far but I’m impressed by it!
Another tip if you don’t have a sharpie if you’re on a stihl saw with stock chain you can just locate the yellow or green link and use that link for your start/stop point
Good point, that does make it handy for sure!
Shit happens. Oh well. Non new
I was impressed to see it take off like that. Couldn’t do that again in 1000 tries!
Get a Tajfun winch and some WCS dogs for the saw.
I would love to have a winch for the tractor, just not in the budget at the moment. Do you have one of their winches? I’ve been looking at dogs for the 261 just haven’t settled on any yet. Thanks for watching!
@@foggyvalleyacres WCS dogs are the BEST! I managed to bend one and they sent me a free replacement pair. Everyone at WCS is so nice also.
I’ll have to look at theirs, did you get 3pt ones or which did you go with
@@foggyvalleyacres I got 3 point ones.
Great day in the woods with the 261, Have a great Easter Weekend Around the Yard!
Thanks! You too! Always a good day if you can go enjoy being outside.
Chain way too tight
I recently purchased this stump grinder and used it with my Yanmar SA 325 tractor on a very large oak stump. The grinder performed well. I copied the backup camera idea from Timber Visions channel. It is a game changer in my opinion. I was able to precisely place my cutting disk on every pass. Leaf blower is a tremendous asset also.
It is a great tool too have for sure. A camera is a must, really hurts the neck if you’re grinding much!
Foggy, what's the approx cost of that splitter?
@@foggyvalleyacres how big can you go, chunk log size?
👍👍
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed.
If youre going to clean this much of your saw, you really need to go ahead and replace your air filter and spark plug. No reason to service it this far without doing so.
That is a good point, it is probably due for a plug, filter is only a few months old though.
@@foggyvalleyacres,don't go nuts u guys with u equipment. You don't need to replace anything if only a few months old,just keep the airfilter clean!
Great video - thanks. It was more thorough than most of the other videos I have seen about cleaning a chainsaw. I also have a Stihl MS 261.
First view! Thanks for the overview. Is the Light 04 an actual light bar or is it just marketing from Stihl?
Did you run the mtronic reset before testing the saw after the muffler mod?
Hell yeah! Luke combs!
Love that song
TIMBER!!
Thanks for watching
rock the fuck on brutha 💪💪💪💪 great video
New Sub! How do you like the 261? Been on the fence about getting one for a while. I have a 362 and 500i.
What size bar are you using?
bar is a 16"
Nice tree.
Can anyone help, please? The Ms261-c ( "18 Light 04 bar) states a 4.8mm file... But, when sharpening, I'm finding that the aforementioned file barely fits in the gullet? Seems too tight and awkward to sharpen, but it states it's the correct file? Any advice, please? From "England'istan".
if you are running a .325 pitch chain it should take 4.8mm or 3/16 file. If it is a new chain (first time sharpening) I have had them not be a perfect fit but that is normal. They are usually close and dont't take much filing to shape to the file.
Great bit of kit that is! 👌
